Single window doors on a Feb 89 car - unusual?

[Horney]

Mines an 87 E with single windows and the badge in the centre at the rear. Must be a dead early 88 spec one. Causes much confusion when I first started ordering parts. Now I just say it's an 88 8v.

best way, half the people your ordering from don't know any difference anyway!!!

tell me about it, and its not just the third party people like GSF and Eurocrapparts either.

the amount of times our local VAG counter ordered the wrong part for my Golf, always getting the early and incorrect part.

yeah if you get hold of patrick in goring he knows that there is a love for vw that often goes outside the chassis number!
